IndiaFilings Launches GST Accounting Software
LEDGERS is specially designed for small businesses
CHENNAI, July 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
IndiaFilings, India's largest online business services platform, announced the launch of LEDGERS, a GST accounting software specially designed for small businesses. IndiaFilings.com receives over 1.5 million visitors each month and the company has a team of over 300 employees at 5 offices and presence across India through a network of over 6,000 professionals at 180+ cities and towns. With extensive experience in delivering business services through the cloud, the company plans to provide GST compliance services to over 1 lakh SMEs. GST, the largest tax reform in India's history, will bring millions of small businesses into the compliance net, increase taxpayer base and improve ease of doing business. It is estimated that over 1 crore businesses would be enrolled under GST in a few years.
Start of GST Regime in India
India implemented the GST regime from 1st July, 2017, completely overhauling the indirect tax regime to improve ease of doing business and increase taxpayer base. Under the new indirect tax system, businesses in most states having an annual aggregate turnover of more than Rs. 20 lakhs (approximately USD 30,000) would have to obtain GST registration and file 37 GST returns a year. The number and complexity of the GST return filing would require businesses to adopt a strong mechanism for accounting and filing of financial information with the government.
GST Solution From IndiaFilings
IndiaFilings started working on a GST solution for small businesses from the time GST was announced. The company first launched a GST portal on IndiaFilings.com to offer free training and educational material on GST to make entrepreneurs, ready for the GST regime in India. This was followed by offering of online services for GST registration and GST return filing to help entrepreneurs complete their GST migration or GST registration formalities from the comfort of their home.
